I've had filler for under my eyes but because my eyes are deep set I don't like it. When I press on where the folds are they do depress so I'm guessing there is a little fat under there. Is it possible to liposuction?

Answer: Fat around the eye It is difficult to assess the presence of fat around your eyes from the pictures. The procedure for fat removal in this area is surgical blepharoplasty where the appearance of the eyelids can be improved overall. You do need an in person consultation and evaluation of eyes before planning a procedure.Please find an experienced Board Certified Plastic surgeon who can examine you and help you with all your concerns.

Answer: Can liposuction be used to deflate epithelial folds under eyes? Thank you for your questions. The photos are not good enough to offer an opinion. Generally speaking, fat around the eyes is better treated with surgical excision and rearrangement rather than liposuction. I would suggest a consultation with a local plastic surgeon who is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery to discuss your goals.Best of luck!Dallas R.

Answer: Can liposuction be used to deflate epithelial folds under eyes? (Photo) Your photo does demonstrate the hollowness under your eyes, which, incidentally, are not really epicanthal folds.Excess lower eyelid fat is not visible to me in your photo, but upon examination, one may well have fat in the lower eyelid pockets that needs to be removed. Still, even if the fat is removed, you will have some hollowness that needs to be filled. This can be done with fat injections or fillers. This must be done with skill and experience to have an excellent result. A permanent alternative would be a silicone implant, as the real problem is lack of bony support. I have done a number of these, and they are uniformly satisfactory.I recommend consulting a board certified plastic surgeon who is experienced in this field for an in depth discussion as to your options.Thank you for your question, and photos, and good luck.
